Feint is a special attack. If played against Defend, the Defender may not test. The Feinter makes an independent test, successes reduce his target’s disposition. If played against an Attack, the Feinting player may not attack or defend. If played against another Feint, make a versus test. The margin of success is subtracted from the loser’s disposition. If played against Maneuver, test Feint at Ob 0. Successes are removed from opponent’s disposition.

Attack reduces disposition by margin of success. Independent Obstacle: 0

Determine participants and teams.

To generate a starting disposition for a conflict, test the listed appropriate skill and add those successes to the rating of the listed ability, subtract any condition penalties from that total. Apply condition penalties to the disposition. If acting in a group, all unique penalties apply to the group’s disposition. Check gear (like armor) for disposition bonuses or penalties.



Independent Obstacle: 3.

I= Independent action. Test both separately, both actions can be successful or both can fail. V= Versus. Roll skills or abilities against each other. Highest number of successes wins. *Special. See Feint action description at right.

ARGUMENT

multiple characters in a team If you have two or more mice in one team, each player takes turns testing for and describing his actions for the team. Two players alternate back and forth. Three players each get one action out of the set of three. If you have four players on one team, which I recommend against, the fourth player starts the next exchange of actions. Then you go around the table again.
